Individual portrait done from photo.

A3 size portrait of an old Malay man.
Medium used: Soft-pastel on white paper.
Client's purpose: For memory's sake.

Soft pastel is a difficult medium to handle but if it's being used the way I preferred, the result can be as realistic as photographs. I would say the technique is quite tedious. After spending 20 over years working with this medium, I've somewhat developed a habit of blending the colours for hours in order to get what I wanted. It needs lots of patience to do so otherwise you would end up frustrated & most probably give up...
